The Equal Opportunity Commission (EEOC)

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is a U.S. federal agency that enforces laws against workplace discrimination. It aims to protect individuals from unfair treatment based on characteristics like race, color, religion, gender, national origin, age, disability, or genetic information. The EEOC investigates complaints, mediates disputes, and can file lawsuits on behalf of individuals if necessary. Its mission is to promote equal opportunity in the workplace, ensuring that everyone has a fair chance at employment without facing discrimination. The EEOC also provides guidelines and education to help employers create fair work environments.
